undercoat government minister deutsche mark Carney says he has trust in his public refuge minister despite the Conservatives calling for Gary Anandasangaree's resignation over a leaked conversation with his tenant.
"I have confidence in the minister who is doing important work," Carney told reporters at a news conference at the United Nations on Tuesday.
Carney was asked about an audio recording of the conversation where the minister appeared to question the effectiveness of the Liberals' gun buyback program and also suggested he would personally compensate the gun owner if he felt he wasn't receiving fair payment from the government.
Anandasangaree suggested that the gun owner shouldn't worry about being arrested for refusing to turn in a banned firearm because municipal police have few resources to devote to such matters.
"I just don't think municipal police services have the resources to do this," the minister can be heard saying on the recording.
The Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights circulated the recording, which was made without the minister's knowledge.
The audio was leaked just days before Anandasangaree announced the government will begin its long-awaited gun buyback program for individuals next month with a pilot project based in Cape Breton, N.S.

On Tuesday, Anandasangaree insisted that police forces will be able to do their jobs.
"I have every confidence that law-abiding citizens will ensure compliance with the law," Anandasangaree said.
"I also have every confidence that law enforcement will be able to do its job and to ensure the implementation of the Criminal Code."
The minister said that as a rule of law country, it is imperative that all Canadian police are able to enforce the law.
